Hiya!
Let me stow the seriousity for a change. Since the beginning of 2018 I have become rather interested (read: obsessed) with the Disney musical Newsies. And I mean interested in belting out the songs all the time, trying and failing to do the dancing routines, memorising all newsies by name and face, and being able to act out the entire musical. For my sake, let's leave out watching Newsies live on an almost daily basis.
So to put my useless obsession for yet another musical to some use get ready for a Newsie Q&A put together by the fabulous Tumblr user: thebroadwayelephant.
Let's get going:
Jack: Do you consider yourself a leader or follower?
This highly depends on the group, like on my internship I'm definitely a follower. However with my friends and in class I'm a leader for sure.
Katherine: Do you enjoy writing?
Yes! I absolutely love writing, either blogpost, crazy stories or fiction, I love it! I'll even like writing an essay as long as the topic interests me.
Race: What’s something people associate with you?
Fun facts and lots of banter
Crutchie: Have you ever broken a bone or moved away from someone you love?
Broken a bone never. Moved away from loved ones only temporary, can't stay away for too long now can I.
Les: Are you a child at heart?
Yasssss
Romeo: Are you a romantic or a realist?
Bit of both though in my mind I like to think I'm more of a romanticist.
Specs: Do you wear glasses/contacts?
If only, it's been a wish ever since I watched Harry Potter as a child.
Spot: Do you consider yourself to be a brave/tough person?
Kind of, not like Gryffindor brave, more like angry Hufflepuf badger brave.
Davey: Are you more impulsive or cautious?
Cautious I like to think of what I'm going to do before doing it. This doesn't count on speech though, all the think before you speak filters have been erased.
Medda Larkin: Where are you the happiest?
In a decent reading nook with an even better book.
Delancey brothers: What’s something that frustrates you?
When others don't understand me.
Wiesel: Is your name misspelled or mispronounced frequently?
Yes, try having a name that's used for males and females but written differently for both. You would be surprised as to how difficult it is to write Renée.
Albert: Are you good with sarcasm?
Yes, sarcasm is my mother tongue.
Pulitzer: What’s one mistake you’ve made?
Oh god, only one.... Let that be asking for help only when you realise it's actually too late.
Finch: What’s something you’re scared of?
I ain't scared of no terf! Although spiders get me a bit (very much) jittery. Also being home alone at night.
Roosevelt: What’s something that brings you joy?
Warmer weather, a fireplace, books, cosy sweaters, freshly mowed grass, hot chocolate, the sun!
Snyder: What’s one thing you would change in society?
The crazy amount of anger and hate there is towards one another. Geez this world needs to chill.
Hannah: Are you an organized person?
Yes I am very organised. Nothing makes me happier than a clean working space and bedroom.
If you're already familiar with Newsies, I hope you liked this little Q&A. If not I hope this inspired you to look into Newsies the musical. They have a live Broadway recording which is on NETFLIX! What more could you want, apart from awesome choreographies, amazing singing, a cool and still relevant story, and cute guys!?
Anyway, I hoped you liked this slightly different blogpost, if you did let me know by liking the post or leaving a comment!
Lots of love,

Renée reviews: the jungle book.
Hey you all!
As it's been quite a while since I've done one, I decided it was about time for another Renée reviews. This time I won't be reviewing a book, no I will be reviewing the Jungle Book, directed by the brilliant Jon Favreau. His name might ring a bell because he's directed a lot of amazing films (in my opinion), for example the Avengers, age of Ultron, the Iron Man movies and about a boy.
Now we all know Jungle Book as the animated Disney classic which came out in 1967. As a child we've all sang along to the Bear necessities, been seduced by Kaa and scared of Shere Khan. When I first heard they were making a new, more life like, version of this childhood classic I was pretty excited yet also kind of sceptic. Normally I'm not one for remakes and how the hell were they going to make it work with all the animals. Let's say I had some mixed feelings at first.
Then it happened, on a very rainy Wednesday in April, I convinced one of my friends to accompany me to the cinema and relive our childhood, or watch it being crushed. At that point I had already seen the trailer and became rather convinced the movie would be amazing.
The Jungle Book, 2016. What an amazing movie. They made it work, I was so happy they made it work with the animals due to some crazy magnificent animation and the acting skills of Neil Sethi who plays Mowgli. Let's give that kid a loud round of applause! He absolutely killed it. That one has a big future ahead of him, mark my words. Then keep applauding for the brilliant Jon Favreau and the entire behind the scenes team who animated the movie, were stuck in blue morph suits to represent animals and made the movie the magical experience it has become!
I laughed, I cried and I was utterly blown away. The animation was flawless, I loved every minute of it and they really stuck to the Disney classic. It's so much fun to see your childhood come to life again and in such a more life like way. This version of the Jungle Book is much more mature than the Disney version but not in a bad way. I loved how slightly darker some scenes were compared to the original Disney animation. Watching Disney movies when you're an adult does add this new layer to them and I really appreciated some of the humour that only the adults laughed at and understood.
Yes, I am very pleased with this new Jungle Book movie. It was absolutely lovely and gave my childhood an extra dimension, literally, this movie was in 3D. The movie is made brilliantly and it will get you, whether you're a child or an adult you get sucked into Mowgli's story and you will love it!
So if you get the chance please go and watch it! You will not regret it for a second! You're only regret will be singing along to the Bear necessities for two weeks.
When you're still in doubt, here is the link to the movie trialer!
Lots of love,
